100% the orange G10. It's a great handle material, doesn't absorb water like a canvas micarta which in my experience wicks water inside. I have and ESEE3 and had a Spyderco Military with the fibrous canvas and both suck up moisture and change colour. Drop any of those others into a pile of...

I won’t post them here, but get on her website and look at the Waelcyrie North and Waelcyrie South. They are very similar to the beautiful corset knives, incredibly feminine and sexual.

Yes, they’re incredibly beautiful trees to look at, I love seeing them on the Downs with their silver leaves. Native to the UK. I wouldn’t call the fruit edible in the same way I wouldn’t with Rowan, but ’edulis’ means edible.

This is the older Super Gold Powder Steel laminated version, a featherlight minimalist gem of a knife. These things really do slice well. Due to a small chip/dink in the blade it's for sale for £40. This is a small dink, I only just noticed it myself after having the knife out for a few weeks...

I'm not sure of the model here, someone will know. Looks unused, just a mark from storage. How about £30 inc postage and PayPal.

Not sure who made this, it's a lovely traditional catapult. Comes with a couple of silicone tubes, but no pouch to hold the ball. Were it mine I'd buy an elastic set from Wasp so you can choose power rating. Tub of steel balls included. £25 posted.

Don't know much about this one, it must have been a BritishBlades project for someone and looks to be based on the KA-BAR Becker BK7 or maybe one of the Busse range. Anyway, it's huge and 6mm thick. It could certainly handle the heavy work in camp, splitting and chopping. If it were mine, I'd...

Nice post, ta :)

An excellent synchronicity, what with your username. ;) Just happened to be reading this extraordinary article about Corvus, and it’s 17 years since you joined. Who rubbed you up the wrong way then? :D https://urban.uw.edu/news/crows-hold-grudges-against-individual-humans-for-up-to-17-years/...

That. Modelled on BB by Grace in somewhat similar clothing. :oops: She told me the story of their sale, to a Russian oligarch in the back of his limo with Matt Diskin (no idea if he’s still about). She said it was a quite ethereal and slightly dark sales experience. The Twisted Seamstress...

Yeah, and I need to get up that way to go and see @Diamond Dave at some point soon. I know Dave's not that near, but both Sheffield and The Lakes are a long way from Sussex.

That's my girl, amazing scissors and I don't know if you remember the pair of art knives? Like 'dark' art knives, loaded with erotic styling? Haven't seen her in many years, always great fun when I did.

Is Grace still around @Stuart Mitchell Knives? I’d love to see her again. SCCC sounds a good idea, we had a few successful meets at Knives UK, organised by Mike at that posh hotel that reminded of Hogwarts. Not the same as being surrounded by steel and machinery though.

Marvelous Jonathon, thanks. It's stuff like this that we lost when BB went down, this wonderful history. Honestly, I tell people the price of a decent knife and they swoon, "How much!!!", but I then begin to talk through the process of starting with a length of 3mm steel and starting to file or...

Mines been on the go since the BB days, accompanied by one of Steve Ellis’s brushes. Like you, I’m bearded but it does the lines and escapees. Razor is now sold.

Spotted today...on Facebook. What a thing, jellyfish UFO fungus.

Big brown rat was hanging off the bird feeder this afternoon and I saw a squashed one on the road too.

Still for sale.

Still for sale.

It’s is preferable to the tadpole licking poo sniffer. Count your blessings ;)
